Some one help me understand why I can not successfully access ensembl webpage
Code should be placed in three backticks as shown below
ensembl = useMart(biomart="ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL",dataset="oaries_gene_ensembl")
The above script gives the output below
Ensembl site unresponsive, trying uswest mirror

Hi Geog,
I had the same issue and the suggestion was to upgrade to new version of Bioconductor. After upgrade it worked fine but again today I am facing the same issue
